Personal Reflections & Meditations [Abridged, Audiobook] [Audio Cassette]

Bernie S. Siegel (Author, Reader)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 6, 1991

Dr. Siegel's message is clear: "If you talk to your body, it will listen."

And millions of people have gained strength and support from the healing imagery workshops and bestselling books and tapes of Dr. Bernie Siegel, world-famous expert on physical and spiritual healing. Now his soothing voice and inspiring words are effectively combined with music in his compelling Personal Reflections and Mediations.

At the beginning of the recording, Dr. Siegel offers advice on how to achieve the peace of mind that is itself a powerful healing tool. He stresses the importance of an inner peace that comes from surrounding ourselves with the things that make us feel good -- comforting and soothing images, sounds, smells, and tactile sensations. What follows are four actual guided meditations set to Daniel Kolbialka's uplifting musical compostion "Timeless Motion."

About the Author

Bernie S. Siegel, M.D., who prefers to be called Bernie, practiced general and pediatric surgery in New Haven, Connecticut, until he retired in 1989. In 1978, he began talking about patient empowerment and the choice to live fully and die in peace. He founded ECaP (Exceptional Cancer Patients) based on "carefrontation," a loving, safe, therapeutic confrontation that facilitates personal change, empowerment and healing. The resulting physical, spiritual and psychological benefits led Bernie's desire to make everyone aware of his or her healing potential.

As a physician who has cared for and counseled innumerable patients, Bernie embraces a philosophy that is at the forefront of a society grappling with medical ethics and spiritual issues. His books, Love, Medicine and Miracles published in 1986, Peace, Love and Healing in 1998, have broken new ground in the field of healing. Bernie's efforts have now turned toward humanizing medical care and medical education, and he continues to travel extensively with his wife, Bobbie, to speak and run workshops, sharing his techniques and experiences. Bernie and Bobbie have five children and five grandchildren (so far).

This review is from: Personal Reflections & Meditations (Audio Cassette)

A fine guide either for those beginning the meditation process or for those who have pursued that path for many years. Siegel's words and Kolbialka's music open the doors to peace, healing and insight. Though Siegel's focus is on those facing a physical challenge, the tape is appropriate for any person facing the daily struggles and joys of life.

A beginners guide to meditations, without any technical stuff.

Following these meditations really helps to develop and maintain inner peace while facing extremely difficult times.

It is great for both the patient and the family.
